Thank you. She is super tiny but I wanted one that size so that way theres no aggression toward the tetra's, etc. So far, none of the other fish even seem interested in the new girl in town! She is not interested in meeting any new friends either!!!

Congrats on the new angel! She may be tiny now, but her size and her attitude will develop and grow over time. When she is larger and her patterns develop then we can determine which type of marble she is....if interested.

How long does it take for them to get full sized? I guess there's more than one type of marbles? ??? This is my first Angel

Oh, there are many, many types of marbles!! There is your basic marble, gold marble, silver marble, blue marble, paraiba marbles, smokey marbles, etc. The list is endless! I suspect you have a gold marble or a silver marble; but he is too small to judge how the colors will develop into adulthood.

At dime size, you little guy is around 3 months. On high quality food you can expect him to double in size each month, more or less. They grow very fast at this age! They are referred to as adult once their body size becomes silver dollar sized; and become sexually mature around 9 months.

These time estimates are not exact as angels will grow and mature at their own speed....just like our kids.
